Fresh Avocado & English Cucumber Salad (KETO Friendly)

Individual portion of salad garnished
with parmesan cheese.
Ingredients:
1/2 of an English cucumber
2 roma tomatoes
1/4 of a red onion
1 1/2 - 2 avocados
1 cup cilantro leaves (without stems)
juice from 1 lime (or juice from 1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt (or sea salt)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Method:
Cut the cucumber in half, lengthwise, and slice into bite sized pieces. Add to a large bowl. Chop the tomatoes into bite sized pieces and add to the bowl. Slice the onion into thin half circle pieces and add to the bowl. Chop the avocados into bite sized pieces and add to the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. Gently toss, or stir, to mix. If desired, garnish with parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings.
